Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is one of the basic tools of Polymer research, and one which is essential to the research programme of the Bristol Polymer Group. Current work relies heavily on TEM. For instance work on EPSRC GR/J64016 (Polymer Blends) and GR/J92217 (Nylons) and associated work in these fields on other funding, require TEM input on a weekly, and often daily, basis. If TEM were no longer available we would have to change the direction of our work completely in both these fields. Our present Philips 301 electron microscope, which is in constant use for polymer applications, is 22 years old, and showing signs of wear. We need to replace it with a reliable instrument for every day use. We do not need a state of the art microscope because we are fortunate to have access to several of the ones in the department. We can use these instruments for special applications, but they are not available to us for routine use.
